Nemanja Matic on Tuesday told Portuguese paper A Bola that he has played his last game for Benfica, as the 25-year-old is set for a return to Premier League giant Chelsea.
According to reports in England, the defensive midfielder is in London completing a medical ahead of signing for Jose Mourinho’s team for around 22 million pounds ($36 million).
The deal represents a tidy piece of business for Benfica, which only purchased the Serbian international from the Blues for 3 million pounds ($4.9 million) in January 2011.
